Now, a lot of you have seen that there was a shooting in Denver, five dead.
Also, the person who did the shooting has been killed by authorities, so
makes six total.
I usually don't count the assailant.
This is a mass shooting for sure.
By every definition, even the most conservative definition says,
four killed in a shooting is a mass shooting.
By the way, mass shootings a slightly more polite word than the one that is more
accurate, which is a massacre.
So now, you might have seen the story,
you might not have, because it didn't get a ton of press.
Why, I mean, it's a massacre.
It's in the middle of one of the biggest cities in America.
Well, it's become super commonplace, right?
Only, five, killed plus the assailant, well,
that's a smaller massacre in America.
Every other country would flip out, it would be a national story and
it will probably last a week.
But here in America, we're used to nonstop massacres, so
it's not that much of a big deal to us.
It's not that out of the norm right now, I'm gonna give you details about this.
That shows you though, a second phenomenon,
that is incredibly interesting about this shooting.
And again, that portion has got almost no media coverage.
It was yet another right wing terrorist.
Now, not all right wingers in the country are terrorists, obviously, right,
but almost all the domestic terrorists in America today are right wingers.
Extreme right wingers.
So that's a fact, the FBI agrees that's a fact,
and it's because of shootings like this.
So now let me tell you, break it down for you guys.
NBC news reports, police in Denver have launched a large scale investigation into
what authorities have described as quote,
a killing spree on Monday that left four people dead now.
Five and three others, including a police officer, injured.
Yes, even a cop was shot and badly injured in this story, but still,
another day, another massacre.
The hashtag America.
Alright, so then we go to the Denver police chief.
His name is Paul Pazen, he said, his officers were working to quote,
stop this suspect from this killing spree.
Wait a minute, that's interesting and different.
Apparently they had word of this guy, and
they were worried that he might do a massacre.
Why, well, let's find out.
Let's look at what he's been saying online,
let alone what other things that the cops might know that we don't know yet.
His name is apparently Lyndon McLeod, and he apparently,
of course, unsurprisingly, given the right wing,
loved and glorified violence and guns, shocking.
I know, he said,
quoting Hunter Thompson here in a picture that he had in social media.
I swore I'd never go unarmed again.
Okay, now, if you just stop right there,
that's about every right winger in the country, they love that.
They think there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Again, if you live in a different country, you think, there's something wrong with
a guy who says he will never go unarmed anywhere, right?
Not in America in America, that's perfectly normal.
And every right winger would defend that guy [INAUDIBLE] man.
[INAUDIBLE] your weapons already killed, right?
So that's right wing in America.
It is, it's just a fact.
By the way, you could ask them and they'll say, yeah,
I gotta have my weapons everywhere, don't take my goddamn guns.
Right, okay, now in another place, this was in an interview that he did in 2019.
He apparently wrote three books,
we're gonna get to those in a second because they're doozies.
And he was being asked about that, and he said,
we are armed and quote, could be dangerous.
So again look, I gotta give it to two different audiences here,
if you're in America, you don't even know why I'm reporting this story.
It is so normal, right wingers saying I got my guns,
I'm armed and I could be dangerous.
That's almost every right winger in the country, right?
Whereas if you're in a different country, you're, that guy,
the police should look into that guy, he's saying he might kill people.
By the way, Editor's note, he did, he murdered five people.
But in America that's perfectly normal,
that's perfectly normal cuz we've lost our minds the entire country.
Specifically the right wing, but the rest of us tolerate it.
Yeah, they came to murder us all, and we gave them weapons to do it.
And it was all perfectly legal.
Nothing wrong here, move along.
But it gets way worse.
Now, here we go,The Sun Times reports.
He reportedly harbored extremist views and alt right conspiracy theories online.
Now say it with me, of course, of course he did.
That's what they almost all of them now.
Almost all the domestic terrorists right now, have these same kind of thoughts.
So now the Daily Beast, they explained further, Lyndon McLeod,
who police say killed five people during a deadly rampage in the Denver area.
Was an author dedicated to, alt right, philosophies,
including masculine supremacy.
That's very important, contrarian and COVID-19 beliefs, of course.
And targeted violence against the quote and quote weak.
Now guys, if you've been watching Young Turks consistently, you've seen
me say this on multiple occasions, and thank you for watching consistently.
They're pushing this idea that being right wing is macho, I mean,
that's an old school thing.
They've been doing that forever, but now it's got, new wrinkles to it.
Like, you take the vaccine, you're not a man.
Real men don't need no stinking medicine.
Okay, real men take dewormers.
Real men work out.
[INAUDIBLE] may and you think that everybody else is weak, we're strong.
We got guns.
So right now this sucks, cuz he didn't use to be like this, but
the leading purveyor of that ridiculous masculinity is, Joe Rogan.
So if you're pumped, and you love fighting, okay, you're tough.
You go guns, guns.
Yeah, right.
And all, vaccines, man, I don't know.
But that's for the weak,.
I told you guys way before the shooting, and go back watch those videos.
I told you that they're pumping people up to do stupid stuff.
And telling them that if they don't believe in insane right wing ideology,
they're not real men, Tucker Carlson, by the way,
even bigger advocate of this than Joe Rogan.
He does it almost all the time, first he was saying the vaccines make you feminine.
Then he turned around and I guess he wanted not to kill too many.
He realizes [INAUDIBLE] audiences really old, and if they're unvaccinated,
a lot of them might die off.
So he then turns around and said, Covid's making you feminine, but
everything makes you feminine.
Everything they don't agree with on the left makes you feminine.
You better fight back against it.
They told Lyndon McLeod, and apparently he listened.
So look, I do want to give caveats.
I'll save that for a second, okay.
So, but we continue now, McLeod, as I told you, wrote three books.
And what were they about?
Well, Daily Beast explains.
They followed a character named, Lyndon MacLeod.
He named the main character after himself, persona named after its author,
who quote, commits 46 murders in the book.
Again, if you're in any other country,
you think well the authorities gotta look into that guy in America,
what do you mean violent right wing fantasies of murdering their opponents?
I say hey, that's called Freedom.
#freedom.
Okay, now of course we're getting to the usual stew of covid conspiracies.
McLeod, shared covid conspiracy meme on twitter that appears to show
Facebook boss, Mark Zuckerberg and
Microsoft founder Bill Gates discussing an injectable nanoworm.
If that doesn't make any sense to you, you're a sentient human being.
But for a lot of the right wing in this country, they're obviously Gates,
Zuckerberg pizza basement, little children, injectable nanoworms.
A giant percentage of this country,
tens of millions of people have lost their minds.
They're completely detached from reality and they're wandering around looking for
injectable nanoworms.
There's never been any evidence of any of that.
It's total insanity, 99.999% of the doctors say,
no, there are no injectable nanoworms.
No, no, yeah, the 0.001% is right, I found a Ragon on Facebook and he says they are.
I'm gonna go murder people, that's what McLeod decided.
Now, he gets very specific about the weak and the strong.
So guys here, I'll do the caveat now before I read you this awful quote.
So I get it, not every right winger is going to do this,
I said that right from the outset, obviously, I would hope to God, tens of
millions of Americans aren't gonna go and grab guns and start killing everybody.
Left and right.
And second obvious caveat is,
this guy clearly has some issues, but I got news for you.
Every terrorist has issues.
It's not like they find the most successful and amazing,
well put together, psychologically sound people.
And by the way, just I know what right wingers always think of Muslims.
No, by the way, newsflash right wingers, when you think terrorists
statistically in America, it makes no sense to think of Muslims anymore.
I get it, 911, etc, back in the day, you had that in your mind for
those real reasons right now, it's you guys, it's your team.
There's almost no left wingers that do any of this.
None of left wing media ever encourages us.
In fact, we are united in saying physical violence is insanity, insanity, but
right wing says, hey, what, violence, violence, violence, violence.
Guns are the answer, guns are the answer, guns are the answer.
What do guns do?
They kill people.
So you don't need tens of millions of people to do it.
You just need a mass amount of people,
you just need to find a couple of unstable folks, this is old school terrorism.
So whether it was Muslim fundamentalists or Tamil Tigers or
the Irish when they were fighting against the British,
they normally don't get the judge, the doctor, the lawyer to do it.
Sometimes that happens, but much more frequently they find someone who is
desperate and they brainwash them and they tell them violence is the answer because
they don't need everybody to do it.
They just need a couple of people to do it.
Okay, scare the hell out of everybody else, intimidate them and
get them thinking, if I oppose the right wing, I might wind up being in danger.
So, one of the stories we showed to you earlier, I think, was very important.
Again, got almost no national press coverage.
Guy goes up to his neighbor, shoots him and
kills him because he had a Biden lawn side.
Well, that's old school clan like terrorism.
You vote the wrong way, we murder you now, everybody.
Be careful how you vote.
Be careful who you're with.
Be careful what you do.
So this particular guy, apparently owned a tattoo store.
Most of the people he killed either worked at other tattoo stores, etc.
So could there be a personal element linking his need for
violence to these specific people that he killed?
Of course there could be, did he have mental health issues?
Almost certainly.
Right, I mean who does this?
That's rational.
But again, almost all terrorists do.
And the terrorist leaders, go look for them and bring them in.
And again, I want to be clear, I'm not saying Joe Rogan is a terrorist leader.
But what he's doing is he's creating this idea and
talk across so far more so that if if you're super masculine,
you don't listen to scientists, you don't listen to doctors.
Your answers are in idiots online that have no qualifications.
And by the way, your second answer is always violence.
And if you're a real man, youd have weapons and you'd be looking to kill.
Okay, so now Rogan will say, no, no, I'm not saying they're looking to kill,
just defense defense, defense, defense.
I mean, do people with guns have to go on the offense almost every time.
But why?
That's just a coincidence that it happens over 90% of the time.
But sure it's for defense and by the way,
I'm being unfair to Rogan here because he's a small part of the equation.
The part that drives me crazy and
why I'm mentioning him here is because he's created this Meathead army.
Right, and they glorify all of this, Tucker does it on purpose for sure.
And I have no problem blaming him.
And almost the entirety of right wing media.
So that leads us to this quote from Lyndon McLeod sometimes explains.
He wrote and now I'm gonna have to clean this up as much as I can the cursor and
the actual thing.
He says, our entire society is made up of crappy little fs who insult badasses and
get away with, it because law enforcement and
social norms protect the weak from the strong.
I'm over it.
The weak better buckle up crap is about to get real.
By the way, most of the people he murdered were women,
unarmed women because he's so strong, they got him all pumped up.
If you're really strong, you hurt the weak, you carry around weapons and
are ready to use them.
Denver police chief Paul Pazel said, this is the holiday season.
To have this type of spree take place is not normal for our community.
I got bad news for you chief.
It is normal.
First of all, you live in Colorado.
Have you not paid any attention to the news?
It is very, very normal to have massacres in Colorado.
If you said to me, name three things about Colorado,
massacres would make the top three.
Nonstop massacres in Colorado and all over the country, not normal in our community?
What are you talking about?
This is America and when we argue against it, the right wing rise in their fury and
say, how dare you, you're promoting weakness.
We will all be armed, and guys.
I'm not exaggerating.
There are polls that show 28 to 40% of Republicans now
saying it might be time to resort to violence, and look at that.
They're resorting to violence all over the country.
I'm sure it's all a coincidence.
It isn't, it's stochastic terrorism.
That means terrorism designed to strike terror in your
political enemies by not saying, hey, you kill Bob,
you kill Suzie because that will get you in legal trouble.
It's to say, well, if you were really strong, you'd have a lot of weapons, and
you would probably at some point use it against government tyranny.
Now, nine out of 10 times, they wind up killing women at tattoo parlors, right?
But that's how they get pumped up to do the stochastic terrorism.
And we all move on.
Because if you insult the right wing in America, not just the right-wing media,
but corporate media will come, how dare you.
They buy products, they buy products of our advertisers.
You're not allowed to say obviously true things about the right wing, sorry,
I am allowed.
I just said it.
And you all know it's true.
